The Nigerian Naira

The Nigerian Naira currency symbol is: ₦ and the currency code for the naira is NGN. One naira can be broken down into one hundred kobos using this currency, which is the standard unit of trade in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Naira is issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (abbreviated as CBN), which is the monetary authority for the entire nation. Also known as the apex bank of the country, it is the only entity that has jurisdiction over the management of this form of legal money (CBN).

The Currency and Branch Operations Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria is the division of the CBN that is solely responsible for the task of currency production.

They are also charged with the duty of currency management, distribution/supply, through the procurement, processing, reissue, and disposal or disintegration of banknotes and coins.

Moreover, this department is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the nation’s currency.

Not only does it print stamps, but it is also in charge of printing banknotes and postal orders for Nigeria.

This is because the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Limited is the mint and printer for Nigerian banknotes. In addition to printing stamps, it is also responsible for printing Nigerian banknotes.

Because the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria retains virtually the majority of the company’s rights, the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Limited have facilities in both Abuja and Lagos, which are both in Nigeria.

Interesting Facts About The Naira

One Naira

It was produced in the form of a coin. The late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who was Nigeria’s Federal Commissioner of Finance at the time, is credited with making the first coin out of copper and giving it the name “coin.”

This name was viewed as an important step in expressing Nigeria’s independence from the control of her colonial history, and it was adopted as part of that process.

The Late Herbert Macaulay, who passed away, is honoured with his likeness on the one-naira coin. May he rest in peace.

The launch of this legal currency, which was an advantage to the national economy because the coin held worth in terms of its purchasing power until much later when the economy of the nation entered a time of recession, was a source of national pride.

Five Naira

The five naira note has a portrait of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, who served as Nigeria’s first prime minister.

On January 1, 1973, it was first executed into the economy of Nigeria. And later redesigned in 2007 from its initial form, which was a polymer note, to a paper note, changing it from its initial form.

The picture shows Nkpokiti dancers from Southern Nigeria from the back, and it was taken there. It is crazy to learn that this currency may buy very little or nothing at all in modern-day Nigeria, yet it still maintains its usefulness in the market system despite this fact.

Ten Naira

It is a dark red colour, and it bears an image of Alvan Ikokwu on it. It was initially intended to be a paper note, but later it was redesigned to be made of polymer instead. On it are depictions of Fulani milkmaids dressed in traditional clothing.

These women collect milk and other dairy products from farm animals, most notably cows. The name of the currency is written in several different languages, including Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, among others. Alvan Ikokwu was born in 1900.

Twenty Naira

On the portrait of the Twenty Naira note is an image of General Murtala Mohammed, who served as Head of State before his death. It is the very first and only piece of paper currency to ever have an image of a woman, and she is shown here as the Ladi Kwali.

In 1925, Ladi Kwali was born in the hamlet of Kwali, which is located in the Gwari region of Northern Nigeria. In this region, indigenous women traditionally labour in the arts, particularly in the field of ceramics.

Because of the extraordinary beauty and decoration of her works, she became known and celebrated throughout the region as a talented and eminent potter. This led to her being recognized as a regional treasure.

Her designs and works were purchased by anyone and everyone within the country and beyond, which had the effect of generating cash for her and the community she was a part of. A diverse Emir showed his appreciation for Ladi by purchasing her wares.

This hardworking woman was honoured with a variety of awards, including the Nigerian National Order of Merit Award (NNOM) in 1980, which is the highest national honour for academic achievement, and the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1962.

She excelled in her field more than any of her contemporaries.

Fifty Naira

The Nigerian currency known as the fifty Naira reflects the country’s rich cultural heritage. It is in a polymer form rather than a paper form, and it displays the major ethnic groups in a display, which are Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, and Ibibio.

Also, it is in a display format. It was first distributed in 1991, but in 2007 it received a brand-new look.

This money, in addition to depicting a member of a local tribe, also features images of the fishing festivals that are traditionally held in the nation (Arguing fishing festival in Kebbi state Northern Nigeria).

One Hundred Naira

It was released for the first time in 1999 and has a photograph of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Many people in the country look up to him as a political hero and recognize him as a true Nigerian because he fought for the independence of the country when it was still under colonial rule.

A new design of the one hundred naira note was introduced by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to coincide with the celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the nation of Nigeria.

Two Hundred Naira

This paper note currency is green all over, just like the twenty-naira note, which is another similarity between the two currencies. It was first printed in the year 2000, and it features a portrait of the late Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, who served as the premier of northern Nigeria at one time.

Five Hundred Naira

On the first 500 naira note, which was produced for the first time on April 12, 2001, the image of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, who served as Nigeria’s first president, can be seen.

One Thousand Naira

The majority of people refer to this currency as the Nigerian dollar. This note features the portraits of the Late Dr Clement Isong, who served as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Late Alhajji Aliyu Mai-Bornu.

The note also has a positive outlook and a silver lining. Paper in appearance, this currency note was initially distributed on October 12, 2005, and it holds the position of being the country’s final highest currency note.

On the reverse of the one thousand naira bill is a picture of the headquarters of Nigeria’s central bank, which is the highest-ranking financial institution in the country.

The Ghanaian Cedi

The Ghanian Cedi can be represented on a currency scale by the symbol GH₵ and can be written out using the code GHS.

The Ghana cedi is the country’s main unit of currency, and it is subdivided into a hundred smaller units called pesewas (Gp).

The present version of the Ghanaian cedi is the fourth and only currency that may be used for transactions legally.

The value of the Naira is shown by the fact that the exchange rate of one cedi to one naira is not very favourable, which highlights the Naira’s weakness in the global currency market.

Even so, this does not necessarily make the Cedi a more powerful currency than the Naira.

If a currency with a larger number is swapped for one with a smaller number, this does not indicate that the currency with the larger number is worth less than the currency with a smaller number.

To begin, the Ghanaian cedi has been subject to scrutiny throughout recent history. As part of this process, the Bank of Ghana has been removing zeros from the back of the currency to make the corresponding figures more compact.

As this is the fourth Ghanaian Cedi, each unit of this Cedi has several undetectable Zeros at the back of it.

The current unit of the cedi would be withdrawn from circulation and replaced with a brand new unit by the Bank of Ghana at any time the inflationary burdens increased within the nation and the value of the cedi appreciated to an unacceptable degree in comparison to other currencies used internationally.

This is something along the lines of what the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Charles Soludo, suggested during his tenure when he was in office.

In the foreign exchange market, the factor that is most important to consider is the amount of purchasing power that is associated with each currency.

For instance, one cedi can be purchased for thirty Japanese yen, but this does not necessarily imply that the cedi is more valuable than the yen, given that the yen possesses a higher purchasing power.
